In my last couple of Weekly E-Genesis, I asked folks to submit brief snippets of how they are coping during this Pandemic and glimpses of their lives during self-isolation. My hope is that by sharing uplifting messages and thanksgivings that we will feel hope and encouragement to forge on until we are back together again.
Shortly after the self-isolation order came out my husband Peter and I took a trip to Walmart. We ran into our daughter-in-law Amanda. After a short visit we headed home. Before we got back to the house, all 4 of our children texted us and told us we were “Grounded,...Indefinitely”. How the times have changed!
Their love for us and their determination to keep us as safe as possible is truly a blessing and not something we will forget. They keep us connected via weekly DUO sessions where we can see and talk with them and our grandchildren through a safe modem. It’s not quite the same as holding them in your arms but for now it will have to do. I hope you enjoy the articles and that they will lift your spirits. I pray that this time has led to special moments in your lives that you will never forget. Change is inevitable, we will never be back to the “normal” we were used to and that isn’t so bad.
To quote an anonymous source, “If you do things the way you always did, the future will look a lot like the past”.
